Re: 928: Stripped spark plug threads, previously helicoiled.

I am probably stating the obvious - even if you recover the helicoil, be sure to remove any remnants that may have fallen within the cylinder if not, the problem will be more than a stripped thread.

Marelli Distributor Rotor Arm wanted

I have just made a gaff, went to tweak the timing on the 911 and managed to crack the rotor arm (Tw*t).
Any one have a Marelli Distributor Rotor Arm no longer required, if yes, how much?

Car 1968 911

Thank you

Oil leak from casing

Re: Classics at the Castle is back!

Thinking of going this year to help decide what colour to paint the car. Strange question but are dogs allowed? Also what sort of time does it wind down, trying to decide if I can do it in a day. Cheers Stuart. YES – Dogs must be on a lead please (quote from http://classicsatthecastle2017.com/faq/)...

Re: So it started with an MOT.... in 2012

Rich

Did you check your valve spring compression, the replacement springs I bought (from the same supplier in Germany where our Mahle components came from) where out of spec so never fitted them.

Sorry - I sound like doctor doom. Hopefully your originals were fine.....

Re: Whiny 901 box...

I haven't driven my Porsche this year, I do however recall a whine in one of the gears albeit slight.
